Stevie Wonder has reportedly filed for divorce from wife Kai Millard Morris, noting irreconcilable differences, according to TMZ. The music legend has been separated from Morris since October 2009. In the lawsuit, Wonder is seeking joint custody of the pair's two sons, ages 7 and 10. Wonder also will provide child and spousal support. Papers confirm some of Wonder's assets will be divided, though the amount has not been determined.

Wonder married Morris in 2001. In June, his nephew was accused of an extortion attempt on the singer.

“The Everchanging Spectrum of a Lie”

The Joy Formidable | 2011

The opener off the Welsh group’s The Big Roar album was an epic one, but the band was worried that track had polarized fans. “The first song is eight minutes long,” Rhydian Dafydd, the Joy Formidable bassist, said. “If you did that in the Seventies people would be, ‘Whatever.’ You do it now, people think, ‘Holy s---!’ Some people think it’s the f---ing greatest track on the entire album, and some people think it’s f---ing boring. It’s that element of needing to challenge people.” The band concluded through the song’s lyrics that love was the “everchanging spectrum of a lie.”
